A Verity Starts Dieting

Just a quick update on things in the full time Verity Household.
After a visit to the doctor, I found that I have gained 12 pounds (24 over all) since quitting smoking. So after doing some research, Shannon and I have decided to begin the Alli Diet. For those who do not know what that is, it is a lower fat diet (you don't have to change your eating habits, but it's reccomended), and you take a pill which stops a lot of the fat your body would normally absorb, and it passes through your system rather quickly. Some people call it the "Keep a clean pair of undie's handy" diet. For the first week, they reccomend you don't get to far away from a bathroom :-)
My goal is to loose 25 pounds minimum, and it can be done in six months, as long as I get more active which means we will be using the bikes more, and I have already started cooking a lower fat diet for us. Shannon is going to do the diet also as my support person!
OK, I have a conference call to lead in a few minutes, and I haven't typed up what it will be about, so, wish us luck!
Love from the Full Time Florida Veritys

  1. Good for you. I've lost 13 lbs since arriving at home1. That is not to bad since we've been to two family reunions where there is LOTS of food. Especially the Canadian one as it lasts several days and the Aunties bring lots of goodies.
